The manor of I. I. Baryshnikov

The manor of I. I. Baryshnikov

Starting the XVIII century, Myasnitskaya, one of the oldest streets of Moscow, had been building up with mansions of the rich nobles and merchants. Today, only a few of the constructed buildings on the street retained the vim of the classicism epoch and it's architectural appearance. Among them, there's a manor of Ivan Ivanovich Baryshnikov. The house belongs to the number of the best monuments of Moscow classicism since its appearance in the years 1797-1802 was identified by a leading architect of the epoch, Matvey Fedorovich Kazakov. This "small palace", as rich houses of a medium size were called at this time, is one of the few buildings in Moscow that had fully preserved the original architectural features of the turn of XVIII-XIX centuries. Fortunately, the fire in 1812 bypassed the structure.
